English premier league.



The Premier League is the most watched football league in the world and it's at the first level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation where each club plays every other club twice, once at home and once away, getting three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero for a loss. The team with the highest point at the end of the season wins the league for that particular season. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 38 games each totalling 380 games in the season. The 20 clubs acts as shareholders with each team having one vote for issues like contracts and rule change. It is sponsored by Barclays Bank and therefore officially known as the Barclays Premier League.
